For someone like me, who pays close attention to lyrics, at times even before the music, Ryan Driver’s album Who’s Breathing? is pure perfection. It’s a blissful frolic through fields of contradiction and beauty, where one can bask in the loveliness of the English language. Too flowery? Maybe. But for a word nerd like me, Who’s Breathing? is amazing.
